I have recently installed spamassassin (http://www.spamassassin.org/)
for my privat protection, and so far this seems to work really well
--- my normal mailfolder is virtually spamfree, and the spam-folder is
easily weeded out once a week and so far only contained one or two
ham-mails right at the beginning (spamassassin is able to learn, so
the more mail you show it, the better it gets).
Unfortunately I haven't yet found a way to protect the lists that
way...
